Abstract
L'invention concerne un réacteur à fusion, qui comprend une enveloppe ayant une première extrémité, une seconde extrémité opposée à la première extrémité, et un point central sensiblement équidistant entre les première et seconde extrémités de l'enveloppe. Le réacteur à fusion comprend deux bobines magnétiques internes suspendues dans l'enveloppe et positionnées sur des côtés opposés du point central de l'enveloppe, une ou plusieurs bobines magnétiques d'encapsulation positionnées sur chaque côté du point central de l'enveloppe, deux bobines magnétiques réfléchissantes positionnées sur des côtés opposés du point central de l'enveloppe, et une ou plusieurs tiges de support pour porter les deux bobines magnétiques internes suspendues dans l'enveloppe. La ou les bobines magnétiques d'encapsulation et les deux bobines magnétiques réfléchissantes sont coaxiales aux bobines magnétiques internes. Les bobines magnétiques sont actionnables, une fois alimentées en courants électriques, pour former des champs magnétiques pour confiner un plasma dans l'enveloppe.
